It’s been years since I read the Casca series, so it’s like reacquainting with an old friend. So, why with all the histo-fantasy mini-series on TV there is no Eternal Mercenary – or even a movie – certainly a better set up for a story than “Highlander?”

Mr. Tony Roberts, thank you for carrying the Casca torch these past years.

I look forward to reading your Casca novels (I’ve recently completed the Sadler Series and plan on reading them in order this time). I may even listen to them on audiobook.

Also, I have a good Wargaming buddy who is also a successful screenwriter/producer in Hollywood. I had brought this very question to his attention and he thought it would be great source material for a show. Surely you must know who retains the story right?

Thanks – hope you do enjoy the stories. The rights are owned by a company, Eastaboga Entertainment Inc. They keep very much to themselves and only let me know what books they agree for me to write; otherwise I’m not in the loop, even with any decisions over TV and films.

Casca novels – 40 at present, 1-22 (Barry Sadler), 23-34 (Paul Dengelegi) and my contributions 25-28, 30-32 and 34-42. 43 is almost done and then I have to negotiate a new contract.

Ghost writers for Sadler – yes.

I would never conclude the Casca series, for two good reasons. 1 – nobody in their right mind would kill this series off 2 – Casca’s story is restrospective, in that he is telling it to us via firstly Julius Goldman and now Danny Landries. Therefore he could never tell something that may happen in the future. Casca is a historical tale, not a futuristic one.

Barry never revealed his ultimate plans for Casca, and all those he might have spoken to about it are either dead or not saying.

Good luck to Battlebook. I’ve never seen a more secretive outfit than the folks who run Casca. I used to think it was curious, but now I think its down right nuts. If I was Tony I’d get on a plane and go visit the whoever. Maybe bring along a castle storming kit just in case no one answers the knock.

Ok, I’m feeling a bit guilty about the castle storming crack regarding the franchise owner so let me just say this: Memphis Tenn is a great place to visit. You would love Beale Street, I’m not kidding. So someday you really should fly over and talk. After all, at least this mystery man isn’t living in Detroit.
